Current tech (at least in the west) gives me all the functionality I could ever ask for on payments. Not an issue for me ever. Current technology (excluding Bitcoin) gives me zero effective options for long term savings. Outside of Bitcoin, my best option for savings is real estate which requires a good credit score, a deposit, taxes, maintenance, insurance and a monthly payment in order to maybe maintain or grow my savings and liquidation costs ~10% in fees. Bitcoin solved my savings problem. I still don’t have a payments problem. If I ever do, I have no doubt Bitcoin can solve that too when there is market demand for a solution.

If you are OK with being KYC'd for everything you do and believe that the information they collect will never be used against you, then you are right. This is not about "tech", but about sovereignty. Yes, I grant you that saving is the first step, but its high time to start thinking about dropping fiat altogether. A day may come where you are not able to choose anymore.
